Pectoral of Panekhu

Late Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130

On the front of this shrine-shaped pectoral, Panekhu kneels with his hands raised in adoration before Anubis. The jackal-god, whose name is written in hieroglyphis behind his head, reclines atop a low shrine.

On the reverse of the pectoral is a djed pillar, symbol of the god Osiris, flanked by tit amulets, thought to represent girdle knots and associated with Osiris's sister-wife, Isis.
